The White Bass are in Freemont! My buddy Mark and I decided for one last try this year. We hit it on Sunday. Got on the water around 10:30 and fished till 4:00. Bought 5 dozen minnows. caught 1 fish on minnows, bad investment. They wanted spinners again. Even got some Girls that wanted to visit the live well. Action was constant, we found a good size school and just stuck with them. Moving 10 or 20 yards as things cooled off and "Bamm" we were back in business. My longest streak was 5 in a row, what a gas....Final count was 114 landed and way to many "Get-a-ways". I know a needy family and cleaned up the majority of my share to take up some room in their freezer. That was appreciated a bunch, almost felt as good as catchin!
That wraps up my White Bass season. Going to get my Walleye rigs ready for action. Going to fish Green Bay "Serious" this year. In the mean time waiting on the Crappie spawn in Northern Wisconsin. This weird Spring has things way off kilter in my neck of the woods.

Wow, that will take some time to clean.
Couple hours start to finish. Just enough time for an adult beverage or two!

Holy crow LS, talk about an overflowing cooler of fish. I have personally never eaten them but have heard they’re quite tasty. Nice of you to clean them up and give them to that needy family.

Nice bunch of whites and good eating. White 1/4 oz roster tail? What kinda spinners do you use. And look out walleye lipsticker getting geared up.

Big trick I learned for table fare is to soak them GOOD in a cold bath. They can be "Oily" so a long soak cold water helps.

I like Panther Martins Mike. Black with yellow poka-dots was slaying them Sunday. 1/4 Oz W/ a small split shot a foot above to get just a little deeper. We fished the channel edge 3 foot sand bar to 10 foot drop. Most fish came as you worked your way off the edge, guessing 5 to 6 feet deep.

No limit on them here. The system we fished is loaded with them, Been a Wisconsin tradition since I can remember.

Hack, You got that straight up. Cleaning them is the last thing your thinking when your in the frenzy. I does however come to reality some place on the ride home. I have found out a couple cold beers makes cleaning time a little more enjoyable. 🍻
